Where to Eat

For a change from Roman cuisine, try Trattoria Monti, which takes its cues from the Marches region northeast of the city.

Ristorante Tullio is a much-loved Tuscan restaurant and is well-known in the city for its upmarket celebrity and business-world clientele. It's also a fabulous place to sample Florentine-style steak.

Checchino dal 1887 is a more than 100-year-old Roman legend that's one reason to visit the Testaccio neighborhood.

rHome offers an innovative, modern approach to Italian cuisine; it makes the most of in-season produce and the occasional visiting DJ.

Sample glorious antipasti at Casa Bleve, one of Rome's most impressive wine bars.
